Travel in Style

February 21, 2013 in Lifestyle

If you’ve been hanging around here at Shop Me Chic for long enough, you would be well aware that I’m getting married next Friday (1 March).

And after that?

My fiancé (well, he’ll be my husband by then…!) and I will be jetting off on our honeymoon to Paris, Italy and Dubai.

All this talk of flights and baggage allowance has not only got me obsessed with what to pack, but also what to pack my life’s essentials in. One suitcase or two? Perhaps half fill each so the rest can be filled with shopping…?!

Anyhow, I digress.

Whether you are boarding a long haul flight to the other side of the world, like me or are simply packing up the car for a weekend getaway, here are some luggage essentials that will see you travelling in style no matter where you’re headed…

1. Kate Hill ‘Lucy’ Passport Sleeve ($19.99) // 2. Ooh La La 18” Quilted Suitcase ($159.00) // 3. Alife Design ‘Happy Flight’ Luggage Tag from Peter’s of Kensington ($10.00) // 4. American Tourister ‘Prismo’ Suitcase from Peter’s of Kensington ($133.00) // 5. Kate Hill ‘New Yorker’ Weekender (on sale $39.99)

What kind of packer are you? What are your packing tips for an overseas holiday?

Stay Chic,

Sonia xx

3 Handbag Styles To Carry On With

August 16, 2012 in Fashion

You could be having a bad hair, fighting a battle with a giant pimple the size of Mount Vesuvius on your chin or be feeling…for want of a better word, frumpy – but none of that matters when it comes to buying a new handbag!

Accessories echo the trends of the season, and handbags are no exception. There are so many fabulous options out there for every budget, which means that buying into a trend doesn’t have to just be about your clothes – it can also be about your handbag. And you’ve gotta love that!

Here are 3 styles of handbags that you can carry on with…

1. Kate Hill ‘Sadie’ Tote ($79.99)

2. ModCloth ‘Verde and Night’ Bag ($64.99)

3. Pauls Boutique ‘Maisy’ Bag from Topshop ($91.17)

4. Forever New ‘Penny’ Mini Bowler Bag ($39.99)

Ladylike is a fabulous style for the corporate world, brunch with the girls or a romantic dinner for two. The ladylike colour scheme can range from pretty pastels, such as the picks from Kate Hill and Topshop, to gorgeous jewel tones, such as the ModCloth and Forever New beauties. A trend that is timeless, in my opinion!

 1. ModCloth ‘On The Polka Dot’ Bag ($59.99)

2. PeepToe ‘Lady Jacqui’ Bag ($159.00)

3. ASOS Floral Envelope Clutch With Leather Trim (on sale $44.04)

4. Marc By Marc Jacobs ‘Zora’ Shopper Tote from Shopbop ($66.96)

You’d have to be living under a rock (or be a brand new Shop Me Chic reader) to not know that leopard is my absolute favourite print. I actually consider it a neutral because it goes with pretty much anything. Whether you love leopard like me, zebra, polka dots or floral, there’s a print to suit everyone!

1. Forever New ‘Pop’ Fold Over Clutch ($34.99)

2. Sportsgirl ‘Ashley’ Colour Block Bag ($59.95)

3. Colette Jersey Panel Turnlock Bag ($39.95)

4. Mimco ‘Pioneer’ Tote ($550.00)

Sport Luxe is a huge trend for Spring and Summer, as the fabulous ladies at Sportsgirl explain: “Give your personal style the winning edge with this season’s hot sports luxe trend. Leather, neon, mesh and cut-out details are the perfect nod to this straight-off-the-runway trend.”

Have you purchased a new handbag recently? What’s your favourite handbag that you own? We want to know!

Stay Chic,

Answer Me Chic: Trench Coat, Not Lab Coat

April 10, 2012 in Fashion

We put the call out to our lovely Twitter followers to solve any fashion challenge they might have and Katie of Mumma On The Run quickly replied:

“I have a white trench coat which I have no idea how to wear without looking like I work in a lab!! Help!!”

Once we said that we could help, Jaclyn then chimed in with a similar sentiment:

“Yes please! I also have a white trench that has been sitting in my wardrobe for 2+ years and has been worn once.”

OK girls, time to pull out those white trench coats cos here are three ways to look super chic and not super geek…

Michael Kors Trench from Amazon – $110.00

Outfit 1: Weekend Casual

This outfit is perfect for the weekend, when you are grabbing a much needed coffee, catching up for brunch with a fabulous friend or giving your little one ”just one more push” on the swings.

1. Cheap Monday Sunglasses from The Iconic – $50.00

2. Ivys Knit Scarf from Birdsnest – $20.95 (on sale)

3. Betty Basics Top from Birdsnest – $22.95

4. Billie Shoes ‘Poppy’ from SurfStitch – $29.95

5. Jag Mid Rise Boot Jean – $99.95

Outfit 2: Date Night

Time to glam up that trench with a knock out date night look. Keep it all black with accents of metallic to really take it to another level. The beauty of this outfit is that the dress can be worn with or without the skinny pants (weather and spray tan dependant). Va-va-voom!!


 1. Princess Polly ‘Miss You’ Dress – $70.00

2. Mimco ‘Reverie Armour’ Necklace – $249.00

3. Colette ‘Stud Front’ Clutch – $49.50

4. ASOS ‘Pluto’ Heel – $97.32

5. ASOS Leather Look Skinny Pant – $48.66

Outfit 3: Corporate Chic

Finally,  we’ve got a great look for the office. Tailored pants and pussy bow blouse go together perfectly just like you and your Monday morning coffee. Add a ladylike suede heel and a fab bag, and you mean business lady!!

1. Forever New ‘Adelaide’ Blouse – $59.99

2. Wittner ‘Jagged’ Heels – $129.95

3. Witchery ‘Sateen’ Full Length Pant – $129.95

4. Mezi ‘Kelly’ Stud Earrings – $79.00

5. Kate Hill ‘Rikki’ Leather Tote Bag – $99.95 (on sale)

So there you have it ladies, three different looks that all work back with a white trench coat.

I hope your coats will be making an appearance soon – and be sure to tweet us a photo!!

Stay Chic,

Sonia. xx

That One Thing: Tote Bag

March 27, 2012 in Fashion

So far on Shop Me Chic we have covered Black Blazers, Coloured Denim and Nude Heels in our ‘That One Thing’ posts.

Our aim is to provide you with wardrobe staples and trend pieces at three different price points.

Today’s post was requested by the very lovely Rosemary Slade of the fabulous beauty blog ‘Lashes and Lattes‘ who asked us to hunt down the classic tote bag. The tote comes in all sorts of styles and designs, meaning there is bound to be one to suit every taste and outfit. The fantastic thing about bags is that they don’t have to cost the earth – you just have to have an eye for detail. Here are our picks…

Less Than $50

Cindy Belt Tote, Colette Accessories, $49.95

An elegant and sophisticated tote perfect for the office. The two-tone mock-croc gives it a point of difference and the little padlock is the cutest finishing touch. A designer-inspired classic, worth adding to your collection.

$50 – $150

 Miranda Drawstring Tote, Kate Hill, $89.99

A fabulous tote for the weekend, with reptile-inspired material and light gold fittings. This bag can transition through as many season changes and outfit changes as you can throw at it. And the icing on the cake? Kate Hill offers free shipping on all orders.

Over $150

Audrey Tote, Witchery, $289.95

A stunning caramel patent leather in the most traditional and timeless tote shape. An investment piece that will stand the test of time.

Which bag do you ‘totes’ got to have?!

Stay Chic,

Sonia
